Schedule not getting much easier. Everton, Spurs, Milan up next, injured players need to start training asap. We may not be able start same 11 again and again and there is bench anymore. If Pope if off too I guess we have 3 GKs on next bench lol.

 

management needs to work overtime that January signings if any has to be here for Howe 1st of Jan 8am morning.

 

Fantastic week behind us 3 huge games and great results apart from a cheat pen in CL. but we need to make it count by beating Everton and then getting something vs Spurs who has similar injury issues like us.

On our arses and we've so far beaten:

 

Aston Villa

Man City

PSG

Man Utd (twice)

Chelsea

Arsenal

 

Drawn with PSG and Milan away and were a daft few minutes from at least the same v Liverpool.

 

I know we weren't this injury ravaged for all of them, but fuck me.

 

This time 2 years we'd beaten no-one. :lol:

Imagine Bruce with this squad we have man. We would be holding the table up

12 injuries, a bare 11, a 17 year old starting in CM, and we've only just beat dominated Chelsea and Man United, and got fighting point away at PSG. 

 

Some lad.


Honestly this run with a barebones squad is perhaps the most impressed I’ve been with him. Can hardly name a bench but the way he can still get them to essentially have maximum points in the last three games (PSG pen farce aside). :slowclap:

i really dont know what ten hag does. Their good form last season seemed fairly sensible pragmatic stuff of solid defense and some efficient goal scoring, but it was still kinda counter attacking footy. Does ten hag want to control games? they don't seem to, do they want to press high? they don't seem to, do they want to sit back and defend? again they don't seem to.

Defo got Ten Hag's number now. That's 3 in a row. Shame the cup final came before that, when we were in a rough patch of form, but since then he has totally bossed his opposite number :D

 

Legit just remembered @Beren was at the final.

As long as we've got Isak, Bruno plus 9 of the other 20 or so players we have playing, I fancy us against anyone except Man City and Liverpool.

More and more convinced that he can lead us all the way to where we want to go.

 

Imagine once he has a deep squad of all top class players and we can play our high intensity style for 90 minutes every game.

 

It will be immense.

Agreed. My one negative post takeover is the cup final in February. We are much better than then in every dept  but for some reason we froze on the day. Play that game now and we piss on them like we have done the last 3 games.

I thought I loved Rafa Benitez. Was gutted when he left. This is on a different level. I tune into every interview. Never done that before with any other manager. I was playing football manager the other night and I noticed in 2028 Bournemouth have changed their stadium name to Eddie Howe Stadium. Going back and looking at what he did for that club from league 2 - nearly dropping out of the top tier, points deduction, gaining back to back promotions at that level is unheard of. I really had no clue how special what he accomplished there was. Going back in the past few seasons and looking at that, I think its much less of a surprise to see what he's doing with our squad. I would argue that what he did at bournemouth is probably slightly more impressive than this - which is already one of the most impressive managerial feats in premier league history.

We are VERY lucky to have Eddie. I hope he stays forever and I hope we are patient with him when the squad inevitably (surely?) has a rough patch in the next season or two.

We're a superbly well coached outfit. Just got to accept due to the fatigue in the first eleven, we will get the odd Bournemouth-esque result now and again.

 

The Premier League is so competitive man. No opponent or match is a guarantee.

 

The over reaction to that Bournemouth result was silly.

 

Already seen Wolves beat Man City this season. I don't know why so many can't deal with the odd bad result.

It is worth considering that the best NUFC days I’d experienced before this were under KK and Bobby Robson.  And one thing neither of them managed was beating the top sides as often as Howe manages - and English football is at a far higher level today than then, with a much broader range of good sides (the current top half is filled with really good sides - this Man Utd side isn’t shite, it’s just poor relative to Man Utd sides of the recent past).

Still a bit mixed against the top sides

 

But still overall positive which is excellent. If you aren't mixed against the top sides you are in a title race, that level will be us in a couple years :)
